Averi Noelle and Audrey Mae

The cutest dang cousins that ever were! Averi on the left born June 15th (11 min shy of my bday), Audrey on the right born May 27th. This was so much better than going to Kiddie Kandids and trying to calm a baby down there, I don't work well under pressure... It was nice to do this in Colettes living room. We knew we would regret it if we didn't do this. Cant wait to give one to Grandma!

I love this, Derek looked at this and said "All I see is diapers", I dont think he gets it... I love the chubby legs they are sporting!

Colette and I gave the girls a photo shoot yesterday, since they are moving to Washington next week, we had a lot of fun and once we finally got the 2 newborns calm at the same time we were happy! Audrey of course couldn't be fussed with much. Derek, Conner, Evan, Kyle and my brother Brant (who was here for the weekend) all went to see Harry Potter while we had Kate and Leyton for a couple hours and got this done! Yeah! For Audrey who hates being naked, this is great! After we all went to Outback for dinner. What a day!

So sweet! don't we love chubby babies? Cant believe Colettes is this chubby! We are gonna miss them a ton! We better get used to road trips to Washington now! Dereks sister moved to San Diego too gotta love it, 10 hr drive for either, hope Audrey does better in the car for our Southern California trip this year in October!

More July fun!

Evan has been naughty or nice this summer, no in betweens! he absolutely ADORES Audrey and its so cute, he can get her to sleep for me or whatever I need, 2 seconds later he is in timeout for beating up one of the other 2!!! we will take what we can!! cant believe he will be baptised next summer!

Audrey and Averi together before they move in a little over a week! They are so cute!

Another one of the two cousins! Averi has almost caught up to Audreys size already!

Derek participating in the watermelon eating contest @ the Ward Party! He didn't win, but he was the threat to others, cant figure out why?! They didn't realize his mouth is really little!

Conner, Kaden and Corbin at the Pinewood derby, he didn't do aas well as he wanted, but we are proud of him!

Summer is already half way over I can't believe it ! I also can't believe Audrey will be 2 mo soon!

Audrey

So Dereks cousins wife Whitney takes these amazing pictures, so I took all the kids over there (which was an accomplishment in itself) to get the perfect picture of Audrey for her announcement, I think we succeeded! Audrey was not her best that day and I know that we could've gotten better ones if she wasn't such a stinker, but I am happy!

July 4th, and Audreys blessing

Hi Courtney! I told you I'd put this on here! glad you came!

Evan sitting still for a minute! He is such a great big brother to Audrey! I wish he was to Kate too!

Dad and Audrey on blessing day July 5th 2009! She did great and was wonderful for the blessing didn't cry!

Cute Kate as always, can she take a bad picture?

One of my many nieces Carly! She is so dang cute! and another niece Brenna, found the M&MS

Yes, I have been busy! This is the first family picture since Audrey!

Audreys blessing gown, this is the 8th granddaughter on the Nielson side (Dereks) all have been blessed in this, including Kate. I am sure many more!

Audrey Mae and her great grandma Wilma Mae, whom she is named for, on her blessing day

Oh yes, this is the kid we barely trust... Derek lets him do this! The neighbor kids were jealous, we gave him a little too much freedom that night!

Evan getting ready for his fun time w/ fireworks! Conner was at the Stadium of Fire that night and saw the Jonas brothers with his cousins, so Evan had all the fun lighting stuff!

Kate and Dad on the 4th! Dereks favorite holiday, he loves fire and so do his boys!

Gotta love that she now takes a binky!!!!

Cute sisters! on the 4th of July

My sweetheart

Me and my Baby! I LOVE HER, it may seem crazy to have 4 kids, but I wouldn't change a thing! I know I post a lot of pictures, I am not much of a reader lately, and for some reason put up a ton of pictures! Life is getting easier! Audrey is sleeping 6 hrs straight at night so I am on my way!
